Tik Tok has removed the Beaning Trend from its platform after numerous complaints against it for causing harm and inconvenience to people.

How did the British police manage it? What is the required from the parents? And what could happen in the future? In this brief report, we answer the following:

What is the ‘Beaning’ trend?

Kids and teens have taken to sharing videos of themselves chucking full open cans of baked beans at cars, doors, and other people’s property. The rise in this offensive behaviour has forced police to take action.

Tik Tok removes the ‘beaning’ trend after it wreaked havoc

Media reports have quoted the a statement – published by the Daily Record – issued by the county of West Yorkshire, in which it talks about the emergence of a new challenge called (beaning), which constitutes throwing the contents baked bean cans on the property of others, videoblogging it and posting it via Tik Tok.

How did the British police force handle it?

The statement urged store owners to pay attention to the phenomenon of children buying cans of beans. It also appealed to parents to monitor their children’s behavior and preventing them from taking bean cans outside. Surrey police have published pictures showing multiple scenes of spilt beans smeared everywhere.

“Local officers have received reports of incidents in Wonersh where beans and other food has been poured onto residents front doors and cars overnight. The victims are understandably distressed by this unacceptable behaviour,” said a Surrey Police spokesman.

The police asked residents to provide any information that would help in locating the people responsible for similar incidents.

Tik Tok Take and Future Trends

Tik Tok deleting the challenge ended the issue temporarily. But time can only tell what kind of trend will take the app by a storm. As these apps are accessible to everyone, anyone can come up with any challenge, no matter how silly or harmful.

What’s the role of the Arab community in the UK?

Arab and Muslim parents commented on this widespread phenomenon. Its removal from Tik Tok may have contributed to its decline. But there is always need for parents to pay attention to their children and the contents of their bags. But the best remedy lies in the atmosphere at home. Parents must maintain a companiable relationship with their children. They must also communicate with their kids and spread an atmosphere of love and care at home.
